Goals Scored - 20

The Senegalese is the player who truly signifies the rise of Liverpool in recent years. Like his club, Mane has been exceptional this season and at times, has been carrying Liverpool on his own. The Senegalese enjoyed a fruitful month of April and has climbed up to third place, within touching distance of the top of the pile now.

Mane started the month with a 3-1 win over Southampton, a game where he impressed but failed to score. However, he was back among the goals in the following game against Chelsea, helping his club secure a 2-0 win at home. He could not score in the next game, a 2-0 win over Cardiff City, but responded with a brace last weekend against Huddersfield.

As of now, the Senegalese has 20 goals from 34 games this season. Only an inferior goals per game ratio has stopped him from finishing second at the start of May, but Mane still has a shot at winning the award if he keeps up his goal scoring form in the next 2 games.
